Campaigners say fashion for Monkey Tail beards is hirsute topiary
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the renewed fashion for Monkey Tail beards is hirsute topiary and likely to be the work of men’s hairdressers.
The Monkey Tail beard consists of a sideburn grown and shaped so that it curls round and joins up with the moustache. One sideburn only is worn.
The campaigners say that to achieve the style requires a considerable amount of effort and maintenance and have labelled it as hirsute topiary, trimming facial hair into particular shapes for aesthetic reasons.
For that reason the Monkey Tail beard is popular with men’s hairdressers who enjoy cutting rather than growing facial hair.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, if people want to go to the effort of wearing a Monkey Tail beard, then why not. At the same time using the beard as a fashion statement is not for everyone
